That night, Lin Lin quietly followed classmate D into the school library.
These two days, most students gathered in the school supermarket and infirmary, and the library seemed a little empty.
Student D kept moving between the bookshelves and finally stopped in front of a thick book.
Just as Lin Lin was puzzled, classmate D suddenly turned around and met her eyes.
"Teacher Lin, being too curious is not a good thing!" Student D joked.
Lin Lin was startled, but quickly regained his composure.
She smiled and said calmly, "I'm just worried about your safety. It's very dangerous here."
Classmate D raised the corner of his mouth slightly, as if he saw through Lin Lin's thoughts.
He picked up the book in front of him, handed it to Lin Lin, and said, "I think this book, 'The Shawshank Redemption', is quite good. Maybe you will be interested in it too. Would you like to take a look?"
Lin Lin took the book and casually flipped it open to take a look.
Student D watched her flipping through the pages, curled his lips slightly, and said meaningfully, "There are two sentences in it that I really like. I hope Teacher Lin will share my feelings."
"Those two sentences?" Lin Lin asked doubtfully.
"It takes a strong man to save himself, and a great man to save another"
"Fear can hold you prisoner. Hope can set you free."
"We should all redeem ourselves and become our own saviors, right?" After saying this, D laughed wildly.
Just then, a strange sound suddenly rang out in the library, like someone whispering.
Lin Lin looked around vigilantly, but saw nothing.
But the goose bumps and raised hairs that kept coming out from the whispers seemed to remind her that this place was dangerous and she had to leave quickly.
At this moment, Student D seemed unusually excited. He whispered, "It seems we must have triggered some kind of mechanism."
Then he walked towards the direction where the sound came from.
Lin Lin hesitated for a moment, but still chose to follow him.
As they walked, they came to the basement of the library.
The door to the basement was open, and in the flickering light, one could clearly see a stone staircase leading down.
D walked down the stone steps.
The flickering lights and the seemingly endless stone stairs made Lin Lin feel a little uncomfortable.
After a while, D's back disappeared from her sight.
After hesitating for a long time, Lin Lin took out his mobile phone, took a photo and sent it to the group, then hurried downstairs.
It took about 10 minutes to walk.
Lin Lin came to a secret room with bright lights inside. He could see all kinds of strange objects and experimental instruments placed everywhere.
Looking at the surrounding environment, as far as the sight can see, except for those strange objects and some test instruments, there are only discarded and broken test equipment.
Lin Lin looked around but did not see D, nor did he see any other passages.
She wanted to escape from this place immediately.
But on the table where the experimental instruments were placed, there were several bottles of black liquid that attracted her attention.
She walked around the things under her feet and headed towards the lab table.
He picked up the bottles of black liquid on the table and took a look.
Although I don’t know whether these bottles of liquid are the raw materials of those poisons, I can take them back for testing and analysis.
Lin Lin took away all the liquid on the table.
Although the suspected poison liquid was found, Lin Lin felt very complicated.
D's purpose of bringing her to this place must be not simple, but D easily let her take the original liquid away.
Lin Lin couldn't understand what D was trying to do, which made him extremely confused.
Lin Lin returned to the infirmary and tested the black liquid he brought back.
While waiting for the results, she couldn't help but think of D again.
D is different every time I see him. I don’t mean that his appearance has changed, but that his personality changes every time I see him.
I still remember the first time I saw him, he was standing at the edge, with a very low presence and not talkative.
The second time I saw him, he was standing on the opposite building, looking down at those students who were in great pain due to their illnesses, laughing wildly and arrogantly, as if he was gloating.
The third and fourth times I saw him, he was different from the previous times...
Every time I see him, it's like meeting a whole new person.
The contrast between his previous and later personalities made Lin Lin feel like two different personalities were living in the same body...
“Ding ding ding…”
The sound of the analysis and test report being printed interrupted Lin Lin's recollection.
I picked up the report and took a look.
As Lin Lin expected, the black liquid was the original liquid that caused the students' food poisoning this time.
Lin Lin immediately took a photo of the test report he had just printed and sent it to the group.
Lin Lin leaned back in his chair and took a deep breath, then started a group call in the group chat, explaining the whole story and the test results.
What Lin Lin didn't know was that after she left the basement of the library, the mechanical test instrument pump emitted a strong light, illuminating the entire secret room and the passage leading into the secret room.
The light gradually gathered into a point and then suddenly exploded.
Everything in the secret room was destroyed in the explosion. Fortunately, the explosion was not loud and did not cause the collapse of the library.
To avoid causing unnecessary panic and chaos, the chain reaction caused by the explosion was suppressed by other school leaders.
So Lin Lin currently doesn't know that the place has been destroyed.
After a series of communications, she decided to talk to Student D in person to find out the reason why he did this.
However, before she could find D.
The last student waiting in line for treatment outside the door finished his treatment and left.
The copy operation was terminated, and the settlement reward for this system operation was also sent.
